제목 Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction Based ZnxCd1-xS Buffer Layers for Vapor Transport Deposited SnS Thin-film Solar Cells
초록 SnS thin-film solar cells were fabricated by utilizing the ZnxCd1-xS buffer layer as a replacement to the traditional CdS buffer layer. The ZnxCd1-xS buffer layers were deposited on vapor-transport-deposited (VTD) SnS absorber using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method. Based on our experimental results, varying the Zn-to-Cd ratio resulted in a series of ZnxCd1-xS thin films with bandgaps in the range of 2.40–3.65 eV. Likewise, the performance of SnS/ZnxCd1-xS TFSCs was tested in addition to their pristine counterparts (CdS and ZnS). ZnxCd1-xS with x = 0.34 was found to be the optimal combination for VTD-SnS TFSCs to achieve an enhanced efficiency of 3.72% with a record open-circuit voltage of 0.405 V as resulting from a controlled conduction band offset (CBO) at the SnS/ZnxCd1-xS interface along with a favorable absorption and moderate conducting properties of the buffer layer. Finally, the superior performance of this particular device was further explored via several extensive experimental analyses.
